Keene is approximately 5 foot 3 inches tall. In the hit Netflix series Sex Education, the actress is almost always seen wearing super-high heels to help her appear taller. But even with the heels, she is still significantly shorter than her fellow “Untouchable” Olivia, played by Simone Ashley, who is 5 foot 10 inches tall.
What other shows has Mimi Keene been in?
Apart from Sex Education, Mimi Keene is also well-known for her role as Cindy Williams on the long-standing iconic British soap opera, EastEnders. Cindy is the daughter of Cindy Beale, and half-sister to Peter Beale and Lucy Beale. The character departed the show as she moved to Germany after becoming a young mother to daughter Beth. Keene portrayed Cindy for three years, starring in 122 episodes.
Other onscreen roles have included playing Claire in the Noomi Rapace Netflix movie Close and a young Edith Bratt in the biographical drama film Tolkien. She’s also had other smaller roles in BBC dramas Casualty and Our Girl and CBBC's Sadie J.
Who is Mimi Keene dating?
From her socials, it does not look like Mimi Keene is dating anyone, at least not publicly. However, she's probably too busy making her way in the acting world and posting dog-mom pics to spend time talking about a romantic partner on her social media!
What has Mimi said about Sex Education season 3?
Speaking on the third season, Keene has said Ruby will take on a bigger role, which is a definite hint at her relationship with lead character Otis. The end of season two saw the two characters get closer after hooking up at Otis's house party and going to get the morning-after pill together.
Speaking about the bigger role to Heat Magazine, she said: "I know it’s a bit weird to bring this relationship in because their dynamic has been something else up until now, so I don’t know. I think the reaction will be split. Some people will like it but we’ll have to see."
Keene also talked about the real person behind the Ruby we see at Moordale, something we began to see in season two as she revealed her dad had multiple sclerosis (MS).
Mimi said: "We start to see how things that look very shiny and perfect on the outside might not be that way in reality," she said. "There’s a lot she has to deal with in her family. She has to take care of a lot more stuff than people might realize, stuff that no one at school or any of her friends know anything about because none of her friends have ever been to her house. Her dad is a huge factor in all of it."
